Default RE: What causes conrod bushing damage?

This definitely appears to be compressive overload damage...
Or limited lubrication... Non bushed conrods need better lubrication. The conrod has definitely been overheated. You can see the black varnish from carbonized oil. This overheating can be a result of compressive overload together with bad lubrication. I have never seen carbonized oil on conrods at normal operating temps before.
